In ancient times, as long as there were warriors with a slight status, there must be some guards around them; because of the battlefield fighting, the open guns were easy to hide from the dark arrows, and the hands and eyes were always busy, so they needed some loyal and powerful guards to assist. These guards are like shadows, they have always been unknown, and the loss rate is extremely high, but the treatment is also excellent, after all, they need to protect themselves.
In the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei's personal guard is called Yanyun Eighteen Horses, and Yanyun Eighteen Horses refers to Haojie of the Eighteen Lands of Youyan, also known as eighteen riding Yan Generals. At the time of Lü Buqi's attack on Xuzhou, Zhang Feijiu was still awake at this time and was unable to fight. Lü Busu knew fei yong and did not dare to force it. Eighteen riding Yan generals, protecting Zhang Fei, killed out of the East Gate. If it was only Zhang Fei alone, it is estimated that he would have been killed a long time ago, which shows the importance of pro-guard.
Then, when cao cao's pursuers arrived at Changshanpo, Zhang Fei took the initiative to ask for a break; Zhang Fei had a plan, let Yan Yun Eighteen ride behind the horse's tail and drag the branches, causing smoke and dust behind the bridge, Cao Cao saw that Liu Bei was ambushed in the woods, so he did not dare to approach, tens of thousands of troops were blocked by Zhang Fei alone, which also showed Zhang Fei's boldness; the story was not over, the funniest thing was that Zhang Fei roared, and even scared Cao Cao's general Xiahou Jie to death. But after that, Yanyun Eighteen Riders never appeared alone again.
And Guan Yu's most commonly used is the five hundred school knife hand; the school knife hand is one of the melee soldiers, generally holding a long knife in both hands, and the long knife used by Guan Yu's school knife hand is generally the same as Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Knife, in fact, it may also be a little confusing the role of the opponent, when the real melee, how do ordinary soldiers on the other side know who is the real Guan Yu? This allows you to distract the other person from putting pressure on themselves.
And Guan Yu's five hundred school swordsmen were only cultivated in the Xinye period, when they first appeared in the "Battle of Chibi", with Guan Ping and Zhou Cang as the leaders, when Guan Yu went to Jiangxia to find Liu Qi, he only brought these five hundred school swordsmen, and when he ambushed Huarong Road, he was also these five hundred school swordsmen; even when he attacked Changsha, Guan Yu only brought these five hundred school swordsmen, which shows how confident Guan Yu was in his own training guards, but this unit no longer existed after capturing Changsha.
Speaking of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's guards, but rarely heard of Zhao Yun's pro-soldiers, Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei for the time second only to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, naturally there were also pro-soldiers; Zhao Yun was Liu Bei's pro-guard leader in his early years, and later Liu Bei formed a pro-wei Bai Yi soldier, Zhao Yun naturally served as the leader of Bai Yi's soldiers, saving Liu Bei's life many times, especially in the Battle of Yiling, if it were not for Bai Yi's guards, Liu Bei would have been killed long ago, of course, at this time, Zhao Yun did not follow Liu Bei's side.
After Liu Bei's death in the White Emperor's City, part of Bai Yibing followed the deputy commander Chen to Zhenshou Yong'an, while the other part followed Zhao Yunnan to defend yong'an; after Liu Bei's death, Cao Wei's five roads invaded Shu, zhao Yun guarded Yang Pingguan, one general dangguan, wanfu Mokai, including the merits of Bai Yibing; in Zhao Yun's seventies, he was still the vanguard of Shu Han, and the Western Liang general Han De, who was known as "the courage of ten thousand men", at this time, although he was old, still followed the left and right, But this was also the curtain call between Zhao Yun and Bai Yibing.
Then who is stronger in guan yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun's guards? Needless to say, although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are strong, how can they compare with Liu Bei's former guards! Zhao Yun had not been injured once in his life, which was proof. But as the same Five Tiger Generals, Huang Zhong and Ma Chao did not have a personal guard? Maybe there is, but there is no record; but maybe not, Huang Zhong did not follow Liu Bei for a long time, and was better than archery; and Ma Chao, whose early guards had long been scattered, even if he followed Liu Bei, was in a state of refrigeration for a long time.
